K430 Bad streaming problem - help needed

Hello everyone, I wonder if any of you can help me or have had a similar problem. I bought a Lenovo Ideacentre K430 Desktop PC (Intel Core i7 3770 3.4GHz Processor, 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD, DVD, LAN, WLAN, Nvidia Graphics, Windows 8) two months ago via Amazon and on the whole have been very pleased with it. However I have had a major problem when it comes to streaming video. For example, when watching TV programmes via BBC iPlayer it will stop after about 45 secs and say that there is insufficient bandwith. Yet, when I run the BBC diagnostic it says the streaming speed is 3621 kbps and is sufficient. (I have two laptops in the house and both of these stream video without any problems). I also have the same problem when streaming video from other websites. When using websites generally they seem to load quickly and also when downloading items it seems to do these jobs at a good speed: it is just when streaming it seems to have a problem and stops. I have even switched the K430 desktop to an ethernet cable to see if that helps - but the problem still persists. All the other devices in the house, i.e. iPhone, Wii, laptop all stream via the wi-fi without any problems. I'm not that technical , so any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. many thanks, Matt

hi Pikemonster,
Welcome to the Forums.
Just to verify, do you get the same issue if you stream via flash player using i.E., Chrome, or Firefox?

Also, have you tried to adjust the video quality (i.e. medium, low, etcl)
